Abstract

The Faroe Islands, a genetically and geographically isolated population in the North Atlantic, has the world’s highest prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Epidemiological studies have characterized this unique cohort, which consists predominately of an ulcerative colitis phenotype, and a decreased risk of developing IBD with emigration. Therefore, the well-characterized Faroese IBD cohort gives the opportunity to better understand the interplay between genetic predisposition and environmental triggers for this complex disease. This study represents the first investigation into the composition of the gut microbiome for the cohort.
